What is a Chamber Buck?

Chamber Bucks can be used at ANY Fairfield Area Chamber Member business. It’s a check and works just like a gift certificate! With each check, we give the buyer a listing of all of the businesses who accept the funds. Your logo would appear prominently on that handout. Chamber Bucks make perfect gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, giveaways or incentive programs. We print 1,300 checks each year which will have your business recognized every time!
